Realistic HP from doing heads with cam....

Done some searches but I need a personal opinion on my hypothetical setup.

Lets say with mods in sig I run a xe224/230 112 LSA on stock heads. What kind of hp can I expect with a tune?

Now lets say I do the cam and a good set of heads. How much more will these heads net me. I need to justify this to my wallet.

Forgot to mention I have NO CLUE what good head numbers look like....any insite apprecieated to.

Thanks
Adam

well with your stock heads done by say loyd elliot and matching cam, then with a great tune 380-400rwhp is positively attainable.

380+ hp now you are speaking the native tongue. How much and how to contact Loyd Elliot?

You'll likely end up happier in my experience if you outline goals & an approximate budget instead of sticking yourself with a particular cam. That's not a bad grind, but you can do better with something that will run similarly assuming you're going to stay with a stock stall converter.

My plans are to ditch the stock stall at some point. I emailed you some info you requested.
